Fishing and stuff

Been so long since the last post.

Just got back from the moutains. Did a daytrip to Curtis creek and Newberry creek and tested my fly-line. Newberry is a small creek with wild trout, a few bites but it is hard to maneuver a 9 ft rod when the canopy is 10 ft. One strike starteled me so much that I almost fell over and my fly went flying into the branches above me. After that little fiasco I had to laugh at myself. I got startled at the very thing I was after. Two flies and a pair of sunglasses later I decided it was time to move on. Drove down the road to Curtis creek, There was a large pool that offered a healthy amount of trout and small mouth bass but they weren't biting! This was the first time I had done much sight fighing and I had a lot of good presentations but nothing seem to interest them. I tried nymphs, mayflies, white whuffs, elk hair caddies, wooly buggers, and parachutes, nothing seemed to catch their eye. I did catch one small mouth when I first showed up but nothing after that. There was a huge trout, Id say about 24", looked like a large salmon, that would come swooping through every once in awhile. I gave him a couple looks too but he was fickle as well. Ohh well it was a great day, and a good way to spend my solstice. I shall return to this river to fish that very pool.

I must thank Ms. Presto for this trip. Without her thoughtfulness I would have never found these streams, and she has provided me with gifts that will keep on giving for years to come.

Alas I seem to be over my head. I car about Ms. T a lot and we have great fun together but I cant seem to shake her baggage. I find sometimes when Im out that I am embarrassed to be around her, not for who she is but because I feel everyone is looking at us oddly for our age discrepancies, when in actuality I know it is not true. I either have to grow up or call it off. The latter being hard to do because of who she is and the chemistry that exists between us. We will see how this summer goes...
